Tommie, a male pit bull, was burned over more than 40 percent of his body after being tied to a fence post and covered in a flammable liquid. Tommie was treated for his injuries but later died five days later.

The case sparked widespread outrage and investigators are crediting information from the community with helping officers solve the case.

"There are a lot of people to thank, but I'd like to single out all the citizens who contributed tips that pointed us in the right direction" said Interim Police Chief William C. Smith. "That, plus the excellent job done by arson investigators who did the bulk of the work, major crimes detectives, forensics technicians and animal control officers who all built a strong case to present to the grand jury."
